‘Expect us’: Hacker group Anonymous declares war on ISIL

Hacker collective Anonymous has taken to YouTube to state they will be exacting retribution on terrorist group ISIL following a string of attacks in Paris on November 13.

In a video posted today to the official Anonymous YouTube page, a masked representative declares solidarity with the victims of the attack and their families, stating the group would “track down” those responsible.

“We will not give up, we will not forgive and we will do all that is necessary to end their actions,” he can be heard saying in the video.

“During the attacks of Charlie Hebdo we had already expressed our determination to neutralise anyone who would attack our freedom.

“We will be doing the same now because of the recent attacks.”

The representative warns the public to “expect a total mobilisation on our part”, but does not elaborate upon what exactly this will entail.

ISIL have released audio and written statements claiming responsibility for the Paris attacks, which left 129 dead and 352 wounded.
